I hated every moment of it," Prinze said. "Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That's not me talking trash, I'd say it to his face, I think everyone that's worked with him has said that." He continued, "I just wanted to quit the business after universal studios packages that. So, I just sort of stopped." Prinze, who was at San Diego Comic-Con while promoting his new Disney XD series "Star Wars Rebels," dropped off the map for a while and even ventured into other projects. "I went and worked for Vince McMahon at the WWE for Christ's sake and it was a crazier job than working with Kiefer," he said. "But, at least he was cool and tall. I didn't have to take my shoes off to do scenes with him, which they made me do. Just put the guy on an apple box or don't hire me next time. You know I'm 6 feet and he's 5'4." As for Sutherland, who was also at Comic-Con promoting "24: Live Another Day," he's back on "24" and Prinze has made appearances on "Bones," among other hits shows.

While last year Marvel reacquired Daredevil from Twentieth Century Fox, Jessica Jones was earlier scheduled to be an ABC series. Apart from these four series, the deal with Netflix also includes a miniseries TV event, primarily based on The Defenders to be streamed. Moreover, maintaining its trend in the film business, Marvel's TV shows will also work within the same universe. Hence, all the Netflix shows will have interconnections with Agents of SHIELD and The Avengers. Both Disney and Netflix are positive about this partnership, which in turn is dependent upon the audience response to these releases. Though Agents of SHIELD had to struggle its way, as per media reports, Daredevil is likely to be a hit in the world of television as relentless effort is being invested in its making, since it is to set the theme of the "Defenders" universe. We believe that Disney is likely to gain from this collaboration, given the popularity of both Marvel and Netflix's series. Also, we believe that Marvel's entry into the TV world is likely to augment Disney's subscribers, enhance its revenues, introduce new licensing opportunities for the company and drive its success.

Make-a-wish Foundation To Send West Norriton Boy To Disney World - Montgomery Life - Montgomery News

seaworld vacation packages style="clear:both">Scarlett Johansson in Lucy: The Future of the Female Action Star - TIME

His wish is to take a trip to Disney World. Michelle Reider from Make-A-Wish Foundation came to the home to help the family fill out the paperwork and find out a little more about Joshuas favorite things. The family will travel to Florida and stay at Give Kids the World, a nonprofit resort that caters to children with life-threatening illnesses. Theyll stay in a condo or townhouse, which will give them more room than a typical hotel room. Staff will be available to help them with Joshuas medical condition. The Hume-Mister family will stay for seven days and will have the opportunity to visit theme parks like Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Disney and Universal Studios. Im just really grateful to have this experience with him, said Joshuas mother, Dana Hume, of the trip. The family is still deciding on the perfect time to go.

In fact, films focused on superheroines have historically crashed and burned (see: Halle Berry in Catwoman). But being able to carry an action film with no built-in fan base means that the people at Disney may finally feel comfortable with giving Johansson her own Black Widow film, where she plays the star, not the sidekick to Robert Downey Jr. as she does in The Avengers. But theres a hitch. Lucy isnt really an action movie. Its more a meditation on pseudo-science: action scenes are intercut with clips of animals from nature documentaries and shots of stars swirling through space. Lucy never shoots or kicks when she can just sweep bad guys out of the way with the flick of her hand. Her Marvel movies have certainly proven that she has the physicality necessary for a superhero film. But does she want her own franchise?

Soccer Is The Game, Developing Leaders Is The Game Plan ? Celebrating At Disney Cup International

The majority of his team has played together since they were 8-years-old, and now playing in their final season together, Horwood thought the Disney Cup International, Presented by AS Roma was the right thing to do for all they have accomplished. Ajax Football Club was one of 239 teams, more than 3,500 players, representing 18 countries, to play in the tournament. Teams from Canada, South America, Aruba and as far away as Australia came to ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort to test their skill against international competition. But before stepping on the plane to come to Disney, before the kick-off whistle blew for their first game, Ajax FC was already a winner when it came to international sportsmanship. For more than seven years these young women have volunteered more than 3,000 hours in their community helping others. The most notable program has them literally giving away the jerseys off their backs. Through the SOS Children?s Village program the team donates jerseys and soccer equipment to kids in Ghana, Africa. To date they have donated more than 300 uniforms, and expect to send another 200 after the tournament at Disney, as well as some other Disney keepsakes. ?Soccer is the sport but we really wanted to make them community leaders,? said coach Horwood.

Disney and Kohl?s Get D-Signed in Time for Back to School - Yahoo Finance

(Snapchat launched this cooperative project to appeal, too, to users who cant attend these events, but still want to experience the action.) A recent high-profile test case came from the final match of the FIFA World Cup, at the game between Germany and Argentina. When viewing Snapchat stories, users had the option of opening Rio Live , a global story that included selfies from beautiful women on Brazils beaches, videos of screaming fans, and scenes from inside the arena. (Whereas past updates have required users to opt-in,Our Story automatically appeared on phones.) In one snap, fans taunt Argentinian star player Lionel Messi following his loss as he broods up a staircase and exits the stadium. Over 200 seconds of stories were added to the Our Story feed, including a snap of Lebron James sitting in the crowd, listening to his Beats headphones. From Snapchats perspective, it seemed, there was a natural narrative to be woven by users who were all congregated in one place. Why not give them a tool that would help bring them together through Snaps as well as physical proximity? This wasnt how Snapchat users saw it. The lack of choice in adding Rio Live immediately caused contention. For the original version including any supplementary images or video, visit Why Snapchat Cares Where You Are - Yahoo Finance

'Avengers 2' Doesn't Need A Marketing Campaign - Forbes

But from a coldly financial cost/reward factor, there is absolutely nothing to gain from teasingAvengers: Age of Ultronthis early. The film could conduct a total media blackout and it would still open with over/under $200m next May. All youve done by revealing this much this early is creating the expectation of having to reveal ever more information over the next nine months, to the point where you flirt with having given away the store by May 2015.Putting aside differences of opinion about how much to share how early in a films marketing campaign, is not the whole benefit of having a preordained smash hit film the notion that you shouldnt have cheap orlando vacations to spend as much on marketing to the film to moviegoers, since they are already interested? We hear all the time about how Hollywood is chasing established properties partially for the marketing advantage that comes with a known entity to moviegoers. Would it not make sense to actually take advantage of the massive success ofThe Avengersand perhaps pull back in regards to the now-standard early-bird saturation marketing campaign? I get that there is a certain need to hammer awareness when a film is a less-known entity, perhaps an original property or a sequel to an original that didnt quite set the world on fire the last time around. But is there anyone on Earth who is going to make a choice on whether or not to seeThe Avengers: Age of Ultronbased on a 9 months-early magazine spread? The only audiences that such early marketing gambits are playing to are those already determined to see the superhero sequel as early as possible anyway. As is usually the case, the earliest of early marketing is firmly targeted and mostly consumed by the converted. The studios spend millions of dollars and reveal heaven-knows-what about the film purely to make the sale to those who are already onboard. To wit, I would argue thatThe Avengers: Age of Ultronis a big enough hit that Disney could well afford to play a little subtle if they so choose.

Luckily for Brer Rabbit, he was able to trick Brer Bear into springing Brer Fox?s hastily devised rabbit trap. This made Brer Fox so furious that Brer Rabbit decided to play another trick on the two, and he began to tell them about a secret ?laughing place? that only he knew about. browse Sure enough, Brer Bear and Brer Fox followed that rabbit right to the foot of a twin oak tree ? But instead of finding a laughing place, all Brer Bear found was honeybees. Suddenly, the rotted old tree gave way with a snap and pitched Brer Fox and Brer Bear into a darkened, water-filled cavern, buzzing with hundreds of angry bees. Brer Rabbit laughed and laughed at the prank he?d played on the two scoundrels. Unfortunately for Brer Rabbit, however, he tended to laugh just a little too long at his own joke and before he knew what was happening, Brer Fox captured that hapless hare. Brer Rabbit was dragged by the ears up to the top of Chick-A-Pin Hill, where Brer Fox?s lair was hidden in a hollowed log that jutted out over the mighty Splash Mountain waterfall. Brer Fox threatened to skin Brer Rabbit, and then to roast and eat him.

Here are eight favorites that are a little more creative than a double dip of vanilla or chocolate: If you?re lucky enough to find yourself dining at California Grill at Disney?s Contemporary Resort on National Ice Cream Day, order the Sundae Sampler, a mini-trio with Frangelico toffee mousse, a float with root-beer flavored ice cream and homemade vanilla soda and a ?banana split? (mousse, fresh roasted pineapple, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, candied peanuts, chocolate sauce and a cherry). You won?t want to share. Run, don?t walk, to try the chocolate macaron sandwich at L?Artisan des Glaces at the France pavilion at Epcot .

I just enjoyed that so much. Asked why he had a sexually laced chat with people he thought were a father and 14-year-old girl, he had an explanation. I was trying to get someone safe, Kingsolver said. I honestly thought someone was in danger and if I had to tell him anything, if I had to tell him the moon was made out of cheese, I would have told him that. I have no intention and had no intention of doing anything with anyone, any minor. After he was arrested, he said he was in shock. I was mad at myself for making a mistake like that. I was in shock that I was there because Id never even been in a jail before or on the outside looking in to visit someone, much less, you know, having to get to wear a size 3X jumpsuit and a size 13 shoe. So you know, yeah, I did a lot of thinking. Kingsolver was booked into jail on a Friday night and was released two days later. The next day, he said he showed up for work at Disney, where he was promptly placed on what he said was unpaid leave. He hired a lawyer to fight the charges. Judd, the Polk County sheriff, said he has no sympathy for the men arrested like Kingsolver, who was arrested in a neighboring countys sting operation.

Fewer fossil-based ingredients mean a smaller carbon footprint. SeaWorld?s switch to PlantBottle plastic in its refillable cups is expected to remove 35 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually -- the equivalent of saving more than 80 barrels of oil a year. The unique PlantBottle technology is popular packaging for Coca-Cola?s bottled beverages. SeaWorld takes this technology to a new level, creating the first commercially available consumer product: a refillable plastic cup. Since The Coca-Cola Company introduced PlantBottle technology in 2009 as the first recyclable PET plastic bottle made partially from plants, more than 450,000 barrels of oil have been saved. And, more than 20 billion PlantBottle packages have been distributed in 31 countries worldwide. "Once we fully realized the power of PlantBottle technology, we knew it had real-world, global applications well beyond our own products," said Scott Vitters, general manager, PlantBottle packaging platform, The Coca-Cola Company. "This collaboration with SeaWorld demonstrates that PlantBottle technology can be applied anywhere that PET plastic is traditionally used, but with a lighter footprint on the planet.? Colorful in-park murals and point-of-purchase displays promoting environmental advocacy will help inform park guests of the new product. SeaWorld eventually plans to use Coca-Cola's PlantBottle technology in the manufacture of many of its souvenir cups and is actively exploring opportunities for its potential use in the development of other merchandise.

(Joe Burbank/Orlando Sentinel/MCT) Disney is fighting allegations that changes to its policy for accommodating people with disabilities at its theme parks are in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. In a 93-page filing with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California this week, Disney rejected charges brought in a lawsuit earlier this year by the mothers of 16 kids and young adults with developmental universal studios orlando vacation packages disabilities who said they were not properly accommodated by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. The families alleged that visits to Disney theme parks became marred by long waits and unhelpful interactions with staff after the company made broad changes last fall to its approach for accommodating park visitors with disabilities. Previously, individuals with special needs were provided passes that often allowed them and their guests to skip to the front of long lines for park attractions. Under the new system, however, those with disabilities can obtain a card which allows them to schedule a return time for rides based on current wait times. The lawsuit cited cases of children with developmental disabilities who experienced meltdowns at Disney parks since the changes took effect allegedly because the kids could not tolerate long waits for rides, among other problems. Changes to disability accommodations at Disneyland and Disney World were prompted by widespread abuse of the old system, Disney officials said. In its point-by-point response this week, Disney told the court that it works individually with guests to meet their needs and said all guests with disabilities are provided the level of accommodation required by law. Disney is now asking the court to dismiss the families suit.
